( The program of the past week has been es
Z pecially rich and valuable in its contents
More than one may think. upon first
thought, depends upon the Introduction OF 4
speaker; and during the past two weeks, Mr.
I George T. Vincent has most ably performed
this trying and difficult task. Mr. Vincent
IS entirely unaffected in manner and speech
and bids fair, from what We hear, 70 sueceel
his father. the Doctor, in the ChauIauqtIi
management.
sunday. the I7th, owing 10 the serious i'll
ness of Bishop Mallalieu, of New Orleans,
Dr. T. B. Neely. Of Baltimore, delivered an
able discourse upon the sutferinss OF Christ
in the Garden vi tsetshsemane.
At 400 o'clock Dr. Vincent spoke beforp
the Society Of Christian Ethics in the Tenn
pie upon the subject Of lead pencils, but
first diselairning any connection between
lead pencils and ethics.
He showed the importance of always car
rying plenty Of lead pencils and the jotting
down of any especially valuable or interest
ing thought or sentence, etc.
These talks Of the DR. are always of prac-
tical value, and adapted to the ages of the so
eiety, which consists of young people Of un-
der twenty -one years Of age.
The only criticism We have ever heard up
on the Dr. is that he does not appear often
enough before the Assembly which he las
created.
At 100 there was an enjoyable long ser
vice in the Ampniiheatre, and DR.. c. ;. Cree
gan, OF Syracuse. gave one of his characters
tic and forcible talks.
Dnring the past week the readings of Profs.
Cumnoek, Burbank, and the Shakesperean
Readings Of Mr.. George Riddle, have been
one of the specially interesting features
Prof Burbank hit and pleased the popu-
lar taste by his humorous selections
The most important factor in the success OF
public reader, lies in his power 10 discrimi-
nate and choose those reeitations best adapt
ed to hiS own particular powers OF delinea-
ton. And. in this, all three seem to be
gifted Prof Riddles admirable ren,litions
of ShakespereaH characters, have elected
much applause and admiration.
Other lectures. which have been of more
than usual importance, have been the three
lectures by Col Homer b. Spragae, of Bos-
ton, upon Shakespear a. youth, man and

A DELICATE QUESTION.
III tristan Advocates Decide That q Hus'
band May Open His Wife's Letters.

artisan Advocates Decide That . Hus-
band May Open His Wife's Letters.
The Partisan advocates discussed the
delicate question: HAS a husband a
right to open his wife's letters?' at
their last conference, and they decided
that he has. A journalist who has
consulted several extra legal lumina-
ries on the point finds them. with a
single exception, in substantial agree
ment with the lawyers. An "enlight-
cned priest" whose name is not given,
answered that the doctrine of the
church was that the ''husband is mas
ter in the house." and that he had,
therefore, a perfect right to open his
wife's letters. NJ. de Prossense, the
leading Protestant pastor in Par
is, was somewhat less afirma-
tive; though. as regards wives
who had any thing to fear from the
exercise of the right, he supported the
decision of the barristers, while in the
case of a good wife he could not see
how it mattered either way. Alexan-
der Dumas, looking at the question
from the historico-philosophical stand
point, contended that what we know
of the relations of Adam and Eve in
the Garden Of Eden clearly establishes
the right of the husband to inspect his
wife's correspondence. Nine. Peyre-
bruno's answer was also In the affirma-
tive. though she added that the ques-
ton was of no practical Importance,
as compromising letters are never sent
through the post. Nine. Adam was
the only dissentient. In her opinion.
the husband who opened his wife's let
tiers was nothing more nor less than a
blackguard (qoujat).--A 81. James Ga
xekLe.

Actnal Destruction Of Two Men by These

Actnal Destruction Of Two Men by These
Monsters Of the Mud.
In Zola's ''Ventre dc Paris" which
is being played at one of the principal
theaters Of the French capital, the
hero, Florent, who has escaped from
Cayenne. tells a thrilling story of how
one of his comrades became stuck in
the mud while trying to get away from
the penal settlement, and was devoured
by land craps. The story is founded
on fact, for N. Ranc, the well-known
French Deputy, relates that the fate
which overlook Florent's friend really
befell Pianori, the son of the Italian
shoemaker who in 1865 attempted to
shoot the Emperor Napoleon III, and
was afterward executed. Pianori, Jr.,
was in London at the time, but
when he came to Paris he was arrest
ed as a dangerous person by order
of the Imperial Government. He was
banished to Cayenne and placed with
forty others, all republicans, Oh DEVILS
Island, a place from which it was so
difficult to escape that no supervision
was exercised wei the convicts. The
republicans, however. vowed to have
their freedom or death, and a raft was
constructed on which they expected to
escape to Dutch Guiana. Out OF the
forty. thirty-five only reached their
destination, and these were raving
maniacs, owing to hunger. thirst, heat
and privation. Three died from sur.
stroke, and two-a Pole named Bog.
inski and Pianori-tried to get ashore
on some marshy island, but they sank
in the fetid mud up to their mouths,
and were found some days afterward
by negroes, their faces and bodies hav-
ing been partially eaten away by tho
monster crabs Of those latitudes. -

There's a wee little scowl on your forehead, and
a toss on the tip Of your nose,
That told me, the moment I saw you, you wero
thinking too much of your clothes;
After all my carefullest teaching, to think that
your very first ball
Should make you forget In 0 moment, Pride

rye told you over and over. whenever you had

That 1 loved you not one bit better and I loved
you not one bit less;
That 1 liked you best for yourself, so pretty and
sweet and small,
And that Pride was o dreadful thing, dear, that
goes before . fall!
I used to be Just like you, so fond Of sashes and
things,
And when / was dressed in my best 1t seemed
that my feet were wings
And that l could fly with delight-but now I am
grown 30 tall
And know, for my mamma has told me, Prtde

Besides, Ihave felt it myself; for as sure Is

The time I was most pulled up was q time OF

There was always o slap or Q snub from nurse

SO Dolly, Dolly my darling, be sure you heed

And never look naughty or vain as I have found
